ATHERTON, CA
FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city ATHERTON, CA sum to $124,905,584 across 64,211 contributions. Atherton’s book is a high average on a modest line count, which is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a wealth ranking. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census and not a party score. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

$124,905,584 is a Schedule A city total
FEC.gov indexed 64,211 itemized rows to contributor city ATHERTON, CA. Their sum is $124,905,584. The mean near $1,945 describes the average row, not a household and not a census tract.
San Mateo County’s Atherton is a small Peninsula municipality on the tape. Size of the town is not in this packet. The 64,211-line count is a contribution-line total. It is not a headcount of Atherton residents. The city total can include a PAC or joint-fundraising committee address when that is the city filers typed. LobbyVault does not recode those rows out of the city string.
Atherton versus Menlo Park is a different-key problem, not a suburb ranking. Woodside and Redwood City follow the same rule. Quote $124,905,584 and 64,211 for ATHERTON, CA only. The mean near $1,945 does not travel with a neighbor’s name.
How to read the CA city key for Atherton
City-name spelling is part of the key. ATHERTON with state CA is the unit. A close spelling, a neighborhood abbreviation, or a merged metro label is a different aggregate if FEC stored it differently.
Independent expenditures that mention a Atherton race can be paid by a committee with a different city on its own reports. Those disbursements do not move $124,905,584. Keep independent-expenditure tables separate from this city total.

Questions
- How much federal campaign money is tied to Atherton, CA?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city ATHERTON, CA total $124,905,584 across 64,211 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of people who live in Atherton. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
- How many FEC contributions are tagged to Atherton?
- LobbyVault counts 64,211 itemized contributions for ATHERTON, CA. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 64,211 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $124,905,584.
- Does the Atherton total include only residents?
- No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed ATHERTON with state CA. Office addresses and mail that list Atherton can be part of $124,905,584 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 64,211-line count follows the same rule.
- Where does LobbyVault get Atherton totals?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $124,905,584 and 64,211 lines for ATHERTON, CA. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from CA are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $1,945 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
City is the contributor city on FEC itemizations. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents.
